2 Month Check Up

We took our girl for her 2 month appointment and found out that she now weighs 12lbs. 12oz. She measured 23 3/4in. She's still in the 95th percentile. Her shots weren't too bad. She did much better than her daddy did. It was had to watch! She got so upset that she couldn't catch her breath, but she got over it quickly. When we got home she just wanted to be held, so I used it as an excuse to hold her and let her sleep in my arms all day. I loved that!

My New Blankie

I had to post about the beautiful blanket that my Aunt Donna made for Savannah. It is the only blanket made just for her (only completed one anyway!) It is crocheted out of really pretty rose and cream colored yarn. She has spent a lot of time playing on it already, but the best thing is that it's a blanket she won't outgrow! It's big enough for her to use for years. Thanks so much, Aunt Donna!

Our Little Fishy!

After the wedding was over, we headed back to the hotel so Savannah could go swimming for the first time. We put on her little swim suit and got in the heated, indoor pool. She really seemed to love it! She was so content and relaxed. The only time she cried was when we took her out. She was so cute!

Rick's Wedding

I was so nervous to bring Savannah to a wedding ceremony where she had to be quiet. Especially when we ended up sitting in the middle of a row with no easy exit! But she did great. She was wide awake through the whole thing, but stayed pretty quiet.
After the ceremony we had a nice break to change her out of her fancy dress before the reception.
She was passed from person to person during the reception and was very content visiting with everyone.
She got to meet her great grandparents on this trip too. It was so great seeing them with her! They were so sweet and loved holding her and looking at her. I wish we could see them more often!

Savannah Finally Meets Uncle Brent!

Savannah finally got to meet her Uncle Brent! He and his wife Katie drove down from Ohio to meet us in Virginia for our cousin Rick's wedding. It was so great seeing them with her. I wish we could all get together more often. We just wish Joelle, David, Pressley, and Lyla could have come as well. You guys were definitely missed. I'm sure we said it dozens of times!

Yeats is Here!

We were so excited to get the news that Valerie and Toby had their baby! His name is Brady Harmon Porth, IV but will be called "Yeats". He was born on Thursday, May 22nd. He is a big healthy baby boy weighing 9lb. 3oz.! He was 22 1/2in. long. We haven't gotten to meet him yet, but we'll get to meet our nephew (and Savannah's little cousin) in about 2 more weeks. We can't wait! I'm sure Addie is a very proud big sister! We'll post pictures after our visit.

Cousins Reunited!

Cole and I took Savannah on her first road trip this weekend. We went to Greenville to meet up with Joelle and her twins. We thought we may get a call from Valerie saying she was in labor and we could head to Columbia, but no luck. It was so much fun having all the girls together and to have some time to get to know our nieces.

Lyla and Pressley are now 11 weeks old and absolutely adorable! I am crazy about them! Savannah is definitely bigger than her cousins now even though they are 4 weeks younger than her. They are all getting more expressive and are such good babies. We spent a day in downtown Greenville pushing strollers and carrying babies in Baby Bjorns and the next day we stayed in and played with the girls and had a baby photo shoot. We took LOTS of pictures! What a great weekend! I can't wait until we're all together again. I wish we lived closer!!
